How do you like it?

This avatar / caricature was created by Eric Merced. The one I have been using is old, and I wanted a new one that was more fun. Eric is a follower of my photography and we follow each other on Twitter.

I visited his web site http://www.ericmerced.com and looked over his portfolio. Wow. You have to check it out because there is some fantastic artwork there. (There is one drawing which looks like a “Marvel Babies” version of Wolverine that is a riot!)

It was that image that made me ask him if he’d create an avatar for me. We talked about what I wanted, and I sent him a photo of me. A short time later, bam… I’m a cartoon character.

Now the part you are all wondering.  How much?  $20 bucks. Yes, that’s right. A custom avatar of you for $20 bucks.

If you’d like an avatar, or caricature of yourself, or just have questions, you can contact Eric at eric@ericmerced.com. Be sure to let him know you heard about it from me.

You can also follow him, and me on twitter.

How can you say no

For the month of June 2009, all profits from the sale of print at dbnaturephotography.com will be donated to three animal charities. Visit my online store and browse through hundreds of photos from sea turtles at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, to animals in the wilds of Yellowstone National Park.

Prints are reasonably prices and you know you’ll be helping out a worthy cause. You can choose from a variety of sizes, and styles.

Help those, who cannot help themselves.

Old Faithful

When people think about Yellowstone National Park, they often think about Old Faithful. But the Old Faithful geyser is only the proverbial tip of the iceberg, or should I say, caldera. Within the boundaries of Yellowstone are some amazing hot springs, mud pots and fissures that will just amaze you. Yellowstone is more diverse than its infamous, like clockwork geyser.

Purchase Prints

Many people have asked me if I sell my photographs. Well, although I have sold a few, I never actually setup a site to sell them. Now I have. dbNaturePhotography.com is my new gallery / store for purchasing prints, cards, and merchandise.

I will be adding more photos from my archives over the next few weeks.

I am currently planning a trip to the Grand Canyon which includes a helicoptor tour, walking tour, and a short ride on the Colorado river.

Thanks for all your good wishes and support, now go by that print you love so much.
